The Bharatiya Janata Party is set to celebrate the completion of one year of its rule in Uttar Pardesh on March 19. To highlight its achievements, Chief Minister Yogi Aditynath led BJP government will organise programmes across the state while the main function will be held in lucknow.
To finalise the programmes, a co-ordination committee meeting of ministers and senior party functionaries of state BJP was held at Chief Minister’s residence in lucknow recently. Another meeting of office bearers has been called by the CM on March 13 to discuss the rest of the arrangements.
State BJP general secretary Vijay Bahadur Pathak said that the one-year rule of Yogi Adityanath in the state was historic with several reforms being undertaken. ‘’The state is now surging ahead on the path of development,’’ he claimed.
``In Yogi raaj, UP government organized ‘Investors Summit’ which was a huge success and MOUs worth Rs 4.78 lakh crores were signed by the state government with corporate houses and other investors,’’ said Pathak.
Pathak said that the BJP will take the message about achievement of Yogi government across the state. He said that the government would ensure that MOUs signed duringthe Summit were translated on the ground and change would be visible to the people in the next six months.
The BJP leader said besides achievements of the last one year, the BJP government also honoured its promise made to voters ahead of 2017 Assembly elections. “The most important promise was loan waiver of 86 lakh farmers. The government made a provision of Rs 36,000 crore in the 2017-18 budget for meeting the cost of loan waiver,” he said.
“Several initiatives for development of infrastructure sector including construction of Poorvanchal and Bundelkhand expressways were taken up by the state government in the last year,” Pathak said.
“With the Centre’s support, a defence corridor in Bundelkhand is proposed to be developed. The government has made effort to implement Central sponsored schemes like Pradhan Mantri Awas and others in a big way,” he asserted.
Pathak claimed that power availability in the state has seen improvement during the last 12 months as district headquarters have been getting 20 hours supply and rural areas 18 hours daily.
The BJP leader claimed that law and order situation has improved with dreaded criminals leaving the state in fear of being killed in encounter.
